Hi,

I am trying to build Filter expression of ActiveDirectory searcher. I found the following code in an article on CodeProject site but I don't seem to know what to use for my case.

Here is the syntax of the Filter they have:

 mySearcher.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)
(|(cn=" + objectName + ")(sAMAccountName=" + objectName + ")))";

What I don't understand is the following:

1. Do I need to change the value of "cn"? Or this is a constant?
2. What value should I substitue for objectName?
3. What value to substitute in place of "sAMAccountName"?

Thank you in advance for your help.

UPDATE: I found even simpler Filter expression, as following:

mySearcher.Filter = "(SAMAccountName=" + username + ")";

I seem to see the value "SAMAccountName in more than one article. Is this a constant that I should use as is?
